As diaspora தமிழ்s growing up in new home countries, with a backdrop of genocide, it can be challenging and confusing to grapple with these personal and historical tapestries.
Priyanka’s poetry gives us the language to process the complexities of evolving identities that are healing from war and resisting occupation, while being brave, unapologetic and dazzling.
Her writing holds space for us to navigate being migrants, refugees, Eela தமிழ்s and Women of Colour. Her deep commitment to living with integrity on stolen First Nations land holds us accountable. Her radical refusal to create art for a white gaze is inspiring.
Priyanka’s poetry is a search for truth. May you fall in love as you lose yourself in these pages.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
